The Role of Medical Physics in Enhancing Patient Care: A Collaborative Approach with Nursing, Midwifery, Dentistry, And Operation and Equipment Technicians
Abstract
Medical physics plays a vital role in enhancing patient care through the application of physical principles to medical diagnostics and treatment. This paper explores the integration of medical physics into healthcare, emphasizing its collaboration with nursing, midwifery, dentistry, and operation and equipment technicians. It highlights the significance of medical physics in areas such as radiotherapy, imaging diagnostics, and the safe operation of healthcare technologies. Challenges specific to developing countries, such as a shortage of specialists, limited resources, and regulatory gaps, are discussed alongside opportunities for growth, including education programs, international collaboration, and cost-effective technological solutions. This interdisciplinary approach underscores the importance of fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes and enhance healthcare systems in resource-limited settings.
